Solution

The correct option is C Burning of stubble (crop residue) in the nearby farming villages
Air pollution in New Delhi is mostly comprised of pollution from human activities.
Delhi has more than 7.4 million vehicles on its roads, with an additional 1,200 added each day leading to the increase in emission of pollutants.
Stubble burning by farmers in neighbouring states has also been a contributor to the city's misery.
